Jose Mourinho believes the PFA's Premier League team of the year should have been made up of only Chelsea players.
Six Blues stars earned a spot in the highly-acclaimed XI, which is voted for by Premier League players, while Eden Hazard picked up the prestigious Player of the Year prize.
But Mourinho was disappointed that his entire side, which is six points away from clinching the title, did not make up the team.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday night's game at Leicester, the 52-year-old said: "There should have been more, they all should have been in it.
"I am the Chelsea manager, so I am going to say that, but obviously I respect every player that was named in that team"
The omission of Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who has made 16 assists, more than any other player, and scored five goals in all competitions, was one that particularly surprised Mourinho.
"That team is missing a central midfield player, which should be Fabregas," he said.
"There are four defenders and Matic in there, leaving only five to attack. It is not balanced and Cesc should have been in there."
